I could tell you some other superficial things about myself— I love dark chocolate and red wine, I love DC for it’s grand architecture and rich history, I have a husband I adore, a strong marriage, a darling baby girl, a quaint old brick home, and a love for strong coffee & a good book.

But if you really want to know me, here are a few things that matter:

I never get tired of weddings.I tear up at almost every first kiss.I think pretty & styled is nice, but real life is beautiful. I would rather cook for a friend than buy a meal out.I care more about having a beautiful soul than a perfect body.I cherish every lingering morning, and end every night with a kiss. I believe marriage is one of the greatest earthly gifts anyone can receive.I believe in telling your story, not my own version of it.

I have so much gratitude and love for friends who are also photographers. They are the people who keep me sane, who let me verbally process, who get both the joys and the unique struggles of this industry. Abby is one such friend. We swapped head shot sessions a few weeks ago, as both of us were in […]

One of my goals for this year (mentioned in this post) was to spend a good bit of time this year pushing myself creatively. One of the ways I’m doing this is crafting shoots just for myself, for no other reason than that I want to shoot them. You’ve seen a couple of them already (here and here)… and today I’m happy […]
